Comic-Con: Stan Lee
|
He's the only comic book creator who can generate widespread applause simply by walking through the convention hall.
Sure, there's a great deal of hype involved, but when you get down to it, if there's one living creator in comics who could act like rock star and not have it bother folks, it'd be Stan Lee.
One of the biggest recurring themes in the pre-convention public relations blizzard leading up to the con was the presence of the anem Stan Lee in the releases from Arcana, Archie, Boom! Studios, Viz, and even ol' Marvel. In days gone by it would have only been Marvel, of course, but now Stan is his own brand and that brand seems to be everywhere.
He was definitely the only creator who had fans dressing up like him for the show (Neil Gaiman wasn't there, after all).
